Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 104: Spirit Soul Tianmeng
Huo Yuhao believed that it was true— spirit souls were indeed more advantageous than wisdom soul rings.
Once Bingdi and Tianmeng transformed into spirit souls, his strength would be greatly improved.
"Brother Tianmeng, why don't you call yourself 'brother' now?" Huo Yuhao noticed the change in Tianmeng Bingcan's self-proclaimed name.
Tianmeng looked somewhat helpless. "Since I know you are the reincarnation of a god, how can I call myself 'brother' in front of you? To be honest, I was still counting on you to take me to the God Realm!"
Huo Yuhao thought Tianmeng was too sensible, but given that Tianmeng's race was originally relatively weak, it was normal for him to develop such a character. After all, even though Tianmeng became the strongest ice silkworm, he was constantly hunted, fought over, and sucked dry—brushed past death countless times.
"Okay, Bingbing and I are about to start transforming into spirit souls. This process takes some time, but with Master Electrolux watching, we should be able to succeed soon."

In the Spiritual Sea.
"Bingbing?" Xue Di looked a little confused. "Bing'er, is your relationship with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm that good now? I remember you chased him before, intending to turn him into food."
The Bing Di spirit in the Spiritual Sea was stunned and hurriedly explained: "Xue Di, listen to my explanation! I never asked Tianmeng to call me that; he took the initiative. Don't misunderstand."
Then the human-shaped Bing Di spirit body quickly flew to Xue Di's side and held her hand as if she were the sun in her heart.
Tianmeng was anxious. "Bingbing, you've never taken the initiative to hold my hand."
He also transformed into a human-shaped spirit body. Watching Bing Di and Xue Di hold hands, a jealous look suddenly appeared on his face. Of course, jealousy was understandable—Tianmeng liked Bing Di, and the intimate gestures of Bing Di and Xue Di made him somewhat uncomfortable.
If these two were normal sisters, it wouldn't be a problem. But the way the Ice Empress looked at the Snow Empress was almost tearing!
Although Tianmeng had no experience in love and only knew the word "lick," he had been through the beatings of other soul-beasts. He was no longer a rookie. He sensed that something was wrong with the relationship between the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress.
Huo Yuhao's spirit body appeared in the Spiritual Sea. He looked at the scene and felt a bit helpless. To be honest, at this stage, Ice Empress liked Snow Empress. Did Snow Empress like Ice Empress too? The answer was obvious—because when the Snow Empress was about to die in Illustrious Virtue Hall, she said that in her next life, she must marry the Ice Empress.
Such words must be sincere, as Snow Empress was determined to die and had no reason to deceive Ice Empress.
However, later, Snow Empress's personality changed dramatically, and she only regarded Ice Empress as her sister.
Huo Yuhao thought perhaps the change was related to Snow Empress calling him "dad" after she became a spirit soul, which might have influenced her personality.

Half an hour later.
Huo Yuhao obtained the spirit soul of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. As for the Ice Empress, she was still in the process of transformation. In the original work, the reason they slept for so long during their transformation was mainly because they had consumed too much power helping Electrolux suppress the ignited power of Snow Empress.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm transformed into a white jade-colored silkworm. At this moment, it put on the silkworm molt again.
Leaning on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, Tianmeng said, "Yuhao, I am now the first million-year spirit soul on the continent. Moreover, because my life imprint origin is well preserved, I'm different from Ice Empress and Snow Empress. I can leave you temporarily, and my freedom is much greater than before.
Of course, because of the contract between us, if you die, I will die too. But I now have a very powerful spirit soul ability—do you want to see it?"
Before Tianmeng finished speaking, Huo Yuhao released his Spirit Eye Martial Soul. Three soul rings floated above him. He had not yet obtained the fourth soul ring, for soul masters, not only grant new skills and increase soul power but also can break the level boundary.
Even without the fourth soul ring, as he continued practicing, his actual soul power could be improved, even if his surface level remained at 40. The fourth ring was still essential, though recent efforts with Xuan Ziwen on overcoming sealed milk bottle technology had delayed progress.
Recently, breakthroughs in sealed milk bottle technology meant he could soon produce sealed milk bottles—a significant milestone in soul guidance technology. After preparing the sealed milk bottles, Huo Yuhao planned to go to Star Dou Great Forest or the Evildemon Forest to obtain the fourth soul ring for his Spirit Eye Martial Soul.
Tianmeng looked confused. "Yuhao, why did you suddenly open your martial soul?"
"Huh? Aren't you going to show your spirit soul ability? Come on, I have a feeling I'll be promoted to soul ancestor soon," Huo Yuhao replied.
Tianmeng was stunned and a bit depressed. "Your premonition as a reincarnated god is too unreasonable. Forget it—I'll tell you: my spirit soul ability is the Life Reflection Shield."
He immediately turned into a stream of light and landed on Huo Yuhao's first soul ring. Soon, the ring turned golden.
The next moment, the soul ring shot upward, stopped above Huo Yuhao's head, floated for a while, then was covered by a layer of golden light forming a shield about half a meter in diameter, floating in front of him.
Tianmeng explained, "This is the Life Reflection Shield. It can rebound all physical and mental attacks. When rebounding, if the opponent's strength is lower than yours, it will be fully reflected. If higher, only part of the attack will be rebounded."
He continued, "Although you still have to bear some damage, the shield disperses the attack and lets my vitality absorb it. Unless my vitality is exhausted, it will never harm you. Plus, your Life Guardian Blade can provide vitality, so I'm confident this defense is strong enough! What do you think—powerful?"
"Yeah, it's pretty powerful," Huo Yuhao nodded. "This will be very useful. The only drawback is that it can't withstand soul guidance device attacks, but otherwise, it's quite formidable."
…
Mu En sat calmly on a chair, a faint smile on his face.
Around him were Xu Sanshi, Beibei, Jiang Nannan, He Caitou, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao. These people were the reserve players for the upcoming competition, and they would become the main team afterward.
There were only six of them now, and the academy would need to select one more later to form a seven-person team. The reserve players would be chosen over time.
